Verse 178

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ १७८ ॥

In plain words

The requisites differ, and so do the qualified persons — in both spheres alike. The one who still wants something is fit for ritual action; the one who wants nothing is held fit for śravaṇa, the hearing.

Close to the Sanskrit

And there is a difference of the two sets of requisites, and, in both cases, of the two qualified persons. The one with desire is entitled in action; the one without desire is held [to be entitled] in hearing.
